Active clinical trials for "Rotator Cuff Injuries"

This study is a comparison of analgesia effect from peripheral nerve blockade (PNB) with liposomal bupivacaine combined with bupivacaine compared to PNB with ropivacaine combined with dexamethasone for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Extension Study of Protocol RC-001- Safety and Efficacy of Adult Adipose-Derived Stem Cell Injection into Partial Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears. Purpose is to investigate the Long- term safety and efficacy of autologous stem cells in patients with partial thickness rotator cuff tears versus a steroid treatment.

A prospective randomized controlled trial enrolled 51 patients diagnosed with shoulder impingement syndrome and mild stiffness. Patients were randomly assigned to two groups: the glenohumeral injection group (Group GH) or the subacromial injection group (Group SA). After the final follow-up, 48 patients (24 in each group) were included for analysis Using ultrasound guidance, a solution containing 1mL of triamcinolone, 4mL of 1% lidocaine, and 7mL of 0.9% normal saline was injected into either the glenohumeral or the subacromial space. The following assessments were conducted at baseline and during follow-up visits at weeks 3, 7, and 13: ROM measurements for forward elevation, external rotation, and internal rotation; clinical scores including VAS, ASES, and Constant.

The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of single PRP injection compared with placebo and multiple PRP injections on pain, quality of life, shoulder function and muscle strength in the treatment of patients who have tendinopathy and/or partial tear in the rotator cuff.

To investigate the effect of shoulder exercise using a selected suspension system exercise program on pain, disability, functional performance and proprioception in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.

A number of previous studies investigated the effects of kinesiotaping (KT) in subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS).

The aim of this study is to determine and compare the effects of neuromuscular control exercises for the shoulder, and standard conservative exercise programs, which are different forms of exercise and have an important role in the treatment of partial thickness rotator cuff tears on treatment. Thus, it is aimed to compare these exercise types with different mechanisms on treatment, to determine the place of neuromuscular control exercises in treatment and whether they are more effective than conventional exercises.

Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair is a common and painful procedure routinely performed on an outpatient basis. Postoperative pain control regimens can include narcotic pain medicine, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications and regional anesthesia such as an interscalene block (ISB). Regional blocks such as ISB can safely provide complete pain relief for the shoulder and upper extremity for eight to twelve hours1. However, the shoulder is still very painful when the block wears off. The purpose of this study is to: Examine the efficacy of continuous infusion scalene block ropivacaine catheters during the first two days after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Examine narcotic consumption after continuous infusion scalene block ropivacaine and placebo catheters after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Evaluate for any continued pain relief benefit of continuous infusion scalene block ropivacaine catheters during the three days after the infusion catheters have finished.

A randomized controlled trial will be conducted to examine the effectiveness of a traditional home exercise program versus 2 kinetic chain home exercise programs on treatment outcome of overhead athletes with shoulder impingement syndrome. Primary outcome measures are reduction of pain and disability, and improvement in functionality and sports performance. Secondary outcome measures are strength, mobility, flexibility and functional performance.

Objective: The investigators aimed to compare the effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and interferential currents (IC) to improve shoulder functionality and to reduce perceived pain in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). Design: Thirty-six patients with unilateral shoulder pain and diagnosed as having SIS were randomly assigned into two groups: TENS (n=18; 51±7 years) and IC (n=18; 47±6 years). Patients in both groups received fifteen 30-min sessions of the assigned treatment for a period of 3 weeks. Before and after the treatment, shoulder pain was measured using a 100-mm visual analog scale and shoulder functionality was measured using the Constant-Murley scale.
